because it would have been difficult to play if he didnt because the crowd was really really extremly offbeat (which is pretty rare honestly this is kinda a extreme situation), personnaly i would have done the same!
I think more accurately he's the Bach or perhaps Mozart of video games. I would argue that John Williams ain't got nothing on Kondo. Williams rips off historical composers in a non-creative (in an academic sense not in a negatively critical sense) manner. His musical style is copy and paste. Kondo takes from a variety of styles and genre's turning them into a new music. Bach was known for taking the musical styles of other cultures. Video games such as Mario are in near every household while many still have not even watched Star Wars. Therefore, Kondo is a much more influential composer in music history than Williams.
There have been musical geniuses throughout history... Mozart, Bach, Beethoven. There is a musical genius of our day and that genius is Koji Kondo. He has shaped the music of this world.
@gameman29 7month old comment.. seriously. My point still stands, if you want to show gratitude, wait till the end. Adding a 'clap' beat to a piano performance is like adding a orchestra to a rap.
@tomanocucaralhoporra It sounds closer to a home video camera; it won't pick up the sound of the rest of that gigantic audience, only the people closest to it. You can barely tell that there's a huge crowd, but they're there, and they're cheering for him.
It sounds lame in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but on the original DS version it sounds great. The theme was composed by Koji Kondo, and the DS is his original arrangement, on Wii, it was arranged by Kenta Nagata.
That theme at around 1:00 ruined by shitty arrangement in-game by co-worker. It's a masterpiece when Koji Kondo play's' it. How did the people at Nintendo mess it up!
Depends on which version you're talking about. The original DS arrangement is actually Kondo's own arrangement from the original New Super Mario Bros. game. Listen to it uploaded by GilvaSunner. It's the uncompressed version of the tune. The Wii and 3DS versions were arranged by Kenta Nagata, but the tune was actually composed by Koji Kondo and arranged by him in the original Nintendo DS game.
jobo slava I'm talking about the one song that Koji played at 1:00. Not any of the others or from any other games. Koji's 'arrangement' of his own song... Sounds great when he played it. But in the actual game (Super Mario Bros Wii) It sounds horrible. Due to the crap choice of instruments. The song completely lost it's feel. I'm not dissing any other Mario songs from any other Console. Just that song.
MegaMech Yes, but that theme doesn't come from New Super Mario Bros. Wii, it comes from the original New Super Mario Bros. on the DS. Koji Kondo composed the theme himself and the arrangement you hear in the DS version is his.
***** He composed the song... But I think someone else arranged it. It's probably impossible to know who chose the instruments without asking the man himself
Nossa véi, mto bom! A melhor pra mim foi a Athletic do Yoshi's Island, toco mto bem! Todas foram boas mas essa foi a melhor! Fico mto boa também a Walking in the Plains do NSMB. Five stars + favorites! Vini64
@neoknux009 that was what i was thinking but then i thought maybe the audio video sync is off? but then i looked at his movements to the song and i was like yeah fail clapping :D

I wonder if this man realizes how much joy he has brought to people of all ages in the whole world.
I love that Koji maybe isn't the most super technical pianist, but has all this creative genius
for some reason that makes me enjoy it more
No one can create music more perfect for a videogame
This is the work of what is probably the most influential video game composer in history.
One of the greatest composers in the world !
Along with Mahito Yokota
I get tears of joy hearing this it's like a flashback to being a kid again.. thanks koji
Clappers are the worst. lol.
I was just about to come and comment this.
This is my idol! Ladies and Gentleman Koji Kondo!!!
koji, we need you in Tokyo 2020! You are our last hope!
Andres Sanchez I agree, too.

Coronavirus i think no
I think i'd cry tears of pure fucking joy just by standing in the same room as The Man Koji Kondo. Pure genious.
I love Koji's little poses while he's playing. :3
His astral powers are shining from his face
Did you hear him adjust his tempo when they started clapping??? For some reason, i find that pretty interesting.
because it would have been difficult to play if he didnt because the crowd was really really extremly offbeat (which is pretty rare honestly this is kinda a extreme situation), personnaly i would have done the same!
Glad to see Yoshi's Island Athletic Theme is the most-played part of this video.
My favourite jam.
I listen it at least once a week
i was gonna say, there better be a standing ovation.
I had goosebumps the whole time. Koji Kondo, you are a video game music mastermind. I look forward to your future works.
He is the beethoven of Video Games, a living Legend!! A GOD!
Legend
I love how he also plays smth from Yoshi's Island ... God that game was good and had an awesome OST
You're the best Koji Kondo !
I love this guy.
Too bad we don't get to see Koji more live, he said he enjoys the studio more.
anthem of all the game
He's like the John Williams of games
Nah man. He's Koji Kondo.

Oh my god, Koji Kondo is so awesome!
And I thought all the musical geniuses ended with Mozart, Bach, Beethoven and Chopin
And it will not end with Kondo, we have Toby Fox

Simply, sweet.
Awesome :)
screw the other vids of koji kondo playing! this is the best one totally!
Genialisimooooo!!!!!!!
Youre right, shouldnt even exist an option for dislike on this.
You can hear the 'lag' in the timing of the clapping and the music.
Legendary.
Kudos to Kondo, if for nothing else, keeping beat even when a group of people who can't keep a beat insist on clapping an ill attempt at said beat.
essa é a primeira vez q eu vejo o mestre Kondo tocando piano :)
Koji Kondo is not the Mozart of Video Game Music, but Mozart is the Koji Kondo of Classic.
3:06 what is this song? I’ve heard it in rom hacks but never a normal Mario title 🤔
Its from yoshi island and its called athletic.
Im learning how to play guitar, i wish i can meet this man in person and give me some advice. No dislikes? beautiful!!! =)
this sir make me happy =D
i wanna see the whole concert video of this..
Clappers ruined the medley for a moment
ikr, that must have been difficult to play at the right tempo when he hear the clappings lol
Fuck clappers
At around 3:23 he intentionally slows down to stay in sync with the clapping.
este señor japones se inspiro en la musica latina para hacer los temas de Mario :) hermoso
he should have played a mario and zelda medley.
goose bumps
4:32 I love that part it's so genius! XD
@SpinyMcSpleen I Totally agree
What a fucking legend.
Oh man that moment when 4:48 hits
Wish I were there.
It's weird hearing so many of those pieces in different keys. Still good times though, despite the mistakes :3
It sounds lame in New Super Mario Bros. Wii, but on the original DS version it sounds great. The theme was composed by Koji Kondo, and the DS is his original arrangement, on Wii, it was arranged by Kenta Nagata.
Glad I am not the only one that thought that
@rom2014 I seem to notice this too. Still a lot of respect for him.
a melhor parte começa aos 03:59 de uma fase mutio dificil.
Is this from the SF show at the Masonic? If so, I was there. It was fantastic.
Does he do parties? :D
@kreftmaker thanks! lol I did have the right one, this wouldn't be for the nintendo 64?
When he finished I wanted to clap until I realized that I'm at home :D

Nintendo have been using the real version aswell, there was not enough diskspace back in the days to have beautiful music like this

I wish Miyamoto and Kondo would have infinite 1-UPs so that they would continue my favorite franchise.
Shigeru is "Darth Vader", the power of the Dark Side of Nintendo are intense in him.

Super Mario Galaxy

@OropherThranduil he was playing a mario medely...

Oh look at the clock it's almost ten past OH MY FUCKING GOD!!!!
Whats the song at 3:08 yoshi's island?
@InkStudiosVideo It's called "athletic"
Hot damn
@InkStudiosVideo Snes (and a GBA port).
Hes got his grove on. haha.
No, just New Super Mario Bros. New Super Mario Bros. Wii just uses the theme from the original game on the DS. ;)
(Me in audience)
"Play Ocarina of Time!!!!!"
i feel stupid asking but wats the song at 2:11-3:04
David Popoca its the observatory theme from super Mario galaxy
Actually you're wrong, he DID write it.
koji is dancing on piano
1 person who watched this thought that Sonic the Hedgehog on Genesis had a good soundtrack.
@tomanocucaralhoporra its the camera :P
The audience clapped 2 songs? the obviously didnt realise he was playing mario tunes until the last 1 where the audience clapped a little louder. -.-
What's with the clapping during mid-performance? it just isn't right when someone is doing a piano performance.. wait till the end.
stfu weeb
@wallacesn Well my reaction was sort of "AHHHHHGHGHHHHHHHIIIIIII!!!!!"
Hmm A do Mario 3 ficou mais ou menos... se comparada a do martin Leung... mas essa medley ta sensacional mesmo ;)
